On a scale from one to ten, l'd rate the entertainmenteand excitment in Smyrna at a six. lt'sl better than some hick towns. We've gotithe D. O., the dollar movie, a Dunkin Dqnyts,,,and a lot of 1 good shop- ping centers, observed gQacy Brown during her lunch period. T 3 Mostfstudents feltasaif Smyrna-ptayedew second fiddle to the metropolis of Atlanta in things to do. But whether in Atlanta, Smyrna, or Podunk , students found a wa y to entertain themselves over the long school week and somewhat abbreviated weekend. A variety of activities were enjoyed by many students ranging from the dollar movie at the Miracle to the Police con- cert. Concerts were a favorite pastime of all avid music fans. Plainly stated Andrea Dymzsa 's reason for going to concerts was to see my favorite group in person. Kim Burke felt the same way but added to have a good time and party. The moving picture show was still an ever-popular favorite among students. Such hits as Return of the Jedi , Vaca- tion , and Octopuss y brought students to highway 41 in record numbers. lf one didn 't have enough money or had mis- placed his AMC theatre discount card, he could always catch a dollar movie. Chip Hurst and Kevin Jordan felt that 'joaying a dollan the dollar movie is well worth the month or two wait. Parties! exclaimed Beth Hendrix when asked what the best way to spend a Saturday night was. The party was an- other big form of entertainment and en- joyment. Sweet 16 parties were popular among sophomore and junior girls, while Thursday night team football parties were big among who else, the football players. Still another favorite was the parents-out- of-town parties for those whose parents were out-of-town for the weekend When nothing else was left to do and all entertainment resources had diminished good friends could still 17nd something to do. One of Allison Wright's favorite ways to pass the time was to go heepingi When there's nothing else to do we go heeping in Rhonda Coker's jeep which is affectionatehf known as the heep mo- bile. After the weekend was over and Mon- day morning rolled around a distant voice could be heard down the hall Hey, what did you do this weekend?

The quiet, morning pep rally of usual class with clap, freshmen cheer and it was evi- dent that Panther spirit was passed on as t yet another class entered the realms of Pantherdom. An array of definitions were given by students for the meaning of spi'rit. Jessica Jordan, a bewildered freshmen, thought spirit was yelling and screaming. Get- ting up, getting into it, and getting row- dy, were Sean Fannon's ideas on how spirit should be displayed, and Holly Ca- ter firmly stated, it's a feeling projected towards something you believe in. Spirit was, indeed, all of these things. lt was displayed at almost every school function: at the pep rallies, games, club and organization meetings, and even in CLZSSGS. Catchy slogans like awesome and The Right Stuff became rallying cries. A wesome was the cry of many juniors. This one word described their view of their class and school. After the acquisition of over 400 right - stuff buttons from a comic book conven- tion, Mark Kassis and Samuel Rans- botham began to circulate the buttons. Eventually the saying, 'fthe right stuff where the future began became the i'n- formal senior slogan. Along with individuals, groupies also jumped on the spirit bandwagon. The cheerleaders who led the spirit brigade of over 7200 students were responsible for the planning of the pep rally, treating the football teamto ta few snacks after Thurs- day practices., and selling spirit ribbons. Sometimes it's as if we perform a thank- less task, howeverp thatfs our duty and priviledge to lead school spirit, com- ,5 H mented varsity cheerleader, Kelly Jones. The band was also a big instrument in leading school spirit at the pep rallies and games. Without the band football games and pep rallies might even be boring. We add a rhythm to which everyone can ap- ply their enthusiasm. Band adds life to pep rallies, surmised tuba player, Jason Sams. Spirit presented itself in all forms. lt was the right stuff . 8 We've Got Something to Say After crashing the stands, Coach Alan Nicely enthusiastically explains what will happen to the night's opponent.
